With a buffer not saved,
Hit C-x s
You will get asked a question.
This question is not recorded in C-h e, so I cannot show it to you. BAD!
There are many choices,

Type SPC or `y' to save the current buffer;
DEL or `n' to skip the current buffer;
RET or `q' to give up on the save (skip all remaining buffers);
C-g to quit (cancel the whole command);
! to save all remaining buffers;
C-r to view this buffer;
d to view changes in this buffer;
or . (period) to save the current buffer and exit.

But none of them let one visit the buffer and just stay there.

You might think C-r would,

But after it asks its question again, and you say n, the buffer is once
again taken away from your vision.

Please add

g to go to this buffer with no further ado or actions;

emacs-version "24.5.1".

reopen 13326
thanks

Yup, seems like this 24174 problem (and grandpa, me) will be "with us for a while".

P.S., for 13326 I in 24174 found something that still doesn't end up in
C-h e' output. (Marked "BAD" in my 24174 comments, so I might as well reopen
13326 too!
